Amanda Rebert

Amanda received her Bachelor of Science in Bio-Molecular Science in 2002 and subsequently joined Johns Hopkins University in the psychiatric department conducting research on Mood Disorders and Comorbidities. While there, she took opportunities to volunteer at Kennedy Krieger Institute which motivated her to make a career change into teaching and special education. She obtained a Master’s degree in special education through the New Teacher Project – a collaboration between George Washington University and Washington DC Public Schools – while being the head teacher of an inclusion classroom for autistic students.

In 2008, she made the move to Switzerland. She spent the next 14 years working with families to provide individualised and small group educational and/or social, emotional & behavioral support. As a learning support and behavioral consultant to various international and local schools, she provided professional training and supervision on best educational practices for learning differences. She treasured the successful collaborations with school professionals and families so that each student flourished.

During her time in Switzerland, she obtained her certification in behavior analysis and organisational behavior management. These experiences provide the foundation to her teaching style by utilising evidence-based practices and individual motivation to offer the best teaching strategies and styles for each of her students so that they become successful and confident learners.

In 2023, Amanda joined the Student Support team as a Learning Support Teacher in the Middle Years Program.

When she’s not teaching, Amanda enjoys hiking with her dog, cooking and discovering new cuisines, and traveling to new places.
